General Description

The MAX120/MAX122 complete, BiCMOS, sampling 12-bit

analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) combine an on-chip

track/hold (T/H) and a low-drift voltage reference with fast

conversion speeds and low-power consumption. The T/H’s

350ns acquisition time combined with the MAX120’s 1.6µs

conversion time results in throughput rates as high as 500k

samples per second (ksps). Throughput rates of 333ksps

are possible with the 2.6µs conversion time of the MAX122.

The MAX120/MAX122 accept analog input voltages from

-5V to +5V. The only external components needed are

decoupling capacitors for the power-supply and refer-

ence voltages. The MAX120 operates with clocks in the

0.1MHz to 8MHz frequency range. The MAX122 accepts

0.1MHz to 5MHz clock frequencies.

The MAX120/MAX122 employ a standard microprocessor

(µP) interface. Three-state data outputs are configured

to operate with 12-bit data buses. Data-access and bus-

release timing specifications are compatible with most

popular µPs without resorting to wait states. In addition,

the MAX120/MAX122 can interface directly to a first-in,

first-out (FIFO) buffer, virtually eliminating µP interrupt

overhead. All logic inputs and outputs are TTL/CMOS

compatible. For applications requiring a serial interface,

refer to the MAX121.

Equivalent Input Circuit Internal Reference Digital Interlace The MAX120/MAX122 -5.00V buried-zener reference biases the internal DAC. The reference output is available at the VREF pin and must be bypassed to the AGND pin with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 22µF or greater electrolytic capacitor.

Full-Control Mode (Mode 1) or for µP-based systems where the ADC and the µP are linked through first-in, first-out (FIFO) buffers or direct memory access (DMA) ports. Slow-memory mode (mode 3) is intended for µPs that can be forced into a wait state during the ADC’s conversion time. ROM mode (mode 4) is for µPs that cannot be forced into a wait state. Figure 6.

Slow-Memory Mode (Mode 3) Initialization After Power-Up When the conversion is complete, the data can be read without initiating a new conversion by pulling RD and CS low and leaving CONVST high. To start a new conversion without reading data, RD and CS should remain high while CONVST is driven low.

ROM Mode (Mode 4) continuously at the rate of one conversion for every 14 clock cycles, which includes 2 clock cycles for the T/H acquisition time. To satisfy the 350ns minimum acquisition time requirement within 2 clock cycles, the MAX120’s maximum clock frequency is 6MHz when operating in mode 5.

MAX120/MAX122 500ksps, 12-Bit ADCs with Track/Hold and Reference Figure 13. Using MAX120 with FIFO Memory Digital-Bus Noise If the ADC’s data bus is active during a conversion, coupling from the data pins to the ADC comparator can cause errors. Using slow-memory mode (mode 3) avoids this problem by placing the µP in a wait state during the conversion. If the data bus is active during the conversion in either mode 1 or 4, use three-state drivers to isolate the bus from the ADC.

Power-Supply Grounding To adjust bipolar offset with Figure 19’s circuit, apply +1/2 LSB (0.61mV) to the noninverting amplifier input and adjust R4 for output-code flicker between 0000 and 0000 0000 0001. For full scale, apply FS - the output code flickers between 0111 1111 1110 and 0111 1111 1111. There may be some interaction between these adjustments.

MAX120/MAX122 500ksps, 12-Bit ADCs with Track/Hold and Reference Spurious-Free Dynamic Range Spurious-free dynamic range is the ratio of the fundamental RMS amplitude to the amplitude of the next largest spectral component (in the frequency band above DC and below one-half the sample rate). Usually the next largest spectral component occurs at some harmonic of the input frequency. However, if the ADC is exceptionally linear, it may occur only at a random peak in the ADC’s noise floor.
